Sorry for a late reply - I am just now figuring how to get in here - maybe everyone is gone from the site by now!? Anyway, the hearing aids are precious! A perfect choice for your sweet baby girl I think. I hope she is gettin gused to them by now! Thanks for sharing!

Well, low sperm count is supposed to sway girl. So I'm not sure if he has that issue given your family's gender make up. And I have to say hi as a fellow 5-boy mom! Hope this is a girl for you - I'll have to watch and see as I am too afraid to end up with boy #6 - I'm, sadly, done. GL!

Oh happy birthday! She is sooo cute - look at her with her cake! I can't believe it has been a year - my baby will be a year on 7/7. It has gone fast! Enjoy year #2 - hopefully with less excitement for you as you have had so much going on this past year. Of course, she is worth every moment of it right!

What you picked out sounds so cute - it's so nice that we live in a day and age when glasses, hearing aids, etc. can be stylish and cute. We do some simple sign language with our babies too. I think it is good for them to learn to communicate at some level as early as possible.
Kade had done his first sign independently just this week. I was so proud. He has at leas...

So sorry you have yet another hurdle to get over - but you are doing it so well. Keep up your great attitude - you will be such a great example to your dd and so many others in this way. I have a friend whos dd has hearing aides - she is the sweetest little girl. I truly love her. She is kind to everyone and just a blessing to everyone she meets. She does so well...

I tried posting this before, so I hope this one makes it. Anyway, i thing a good tech can tell very quickly either sex, if given a good shot. I wouldn't read too much into that. I also think tech tend to use one pronoun over the other generally. So I again wouldn't think too much about that. They seem to have "messed up" both ways really - so who knows. I think ...

I don't think that DG is necessarily a psychological disorder at all. But I do think that some people go into a deep depression over it, me being one of them. Under those circumstances, I think that getting some counseling or other help can be very beneficial - I did and it has helped.
I think of it as a form of depression really - lots of people have depression that gets ...

Sorry you are feeling this way! Please don't think that any of us here think you are wrong for your feelings - we are just trying to encourage you from what we have experienced personally. But please know, we do get it. I think adoption is awesome - and I too would consider it if we had the money. Someone said not China for boys, but FYI, I have a friend who has 2 sons from...

Well, I can say that for my first 4 kids, I didn't really care - maybe had a small preference, but I truly was fine with whatever we ended up with. The first 5 were surprises at the birth. So with baby #5, I thought I would be fine either way, although I thought it was a girl and wanted a girl. Well, when DS3 was born, the first thing I saw was the penis and I immediately fe...

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss; that must have been so painful. I had to respond to your post as I too have wondered if babies can sense the disappointment, etc. I can say this for certain, you didn't cause or have anything to do with the loss of your son. I understand why you have that feeling of guilt, but please know you had nothing to do with what happened. I do think ...

Thanks Vendela! Congrats on your pregnancy! I always pray that the IG girls get their DG - I'll add you to my specific list. Hope you hear girl - soon! Won't be long now! Nice to see you too! I have to live through all of you girls as I am done having babies myself. I'll always love the having babies phase of life so being on here and following all you g...

Hi Turtles - I check the boards now and again to see how those I know are doing. Soooo excited for you today. I do hope you hear girl - I said a prayer for you! But I know you will be happy and great if it's a precious boy too. You have definately inspired me in my 5 boy journey. Thanks! GL! I'll be checking back later to see how it went!

So sorry you didn't get a girl this time - I know it hurts. You honestly sound so good though and like you will get through this in such an inspiring way for others going through the same thing. I know I am not in your same position as I do have girls, but I can say I very much wanted at least one more girl, and I certainly didn't want all of those boys. Like you, I love my boys ...

My last 4 pregnancies, all of my kids (my really DH & I) wanted a girl - prayed and dreamt of a girl. We got 4 more boys. And I can say every time, my kids were happy, excited and in love with their baby brother right away. My kids had a much better perspective than I did - always. "How could we ever be disappointed with out brother?" my older ones said. Put...

First, I am sorry that you are hurting. It is true pain and grief as you suffer the loss of a dream. You have a great attitude though - you are not going to give up and I admire that. I too have 5 boys - 5 boys and 8 m/c's in 8 years. I am glad I have boys, I just didn't want 5 of them. I hesitate to post as I do have 2 DD's (14 & 11), so some people may not ...

I am not going to ttc - I don't want a 6th boy so I am done with that phase of life. But if it makes you feel any better, I would love to be ttc right now. I am truly saddened that I will never be pregnant again and feel a baby move inside my body. I am sad that I will never again experience the miracle of birth. And if I could know that I would get a girl next time, I woul...

I am so glad she is doing well. I look forward to getting her updates when I can get on here anymore. What a peanut - just over 12 lbs. My DD1 was a tiny thing too (not as much as Aislinn) - so sweet. My DS5 is a big guy though at around 25 lbs. I need to get him out of the carseat you carry - it is killing my back! But some days I am so glad to have it like whe...

I love your question and concern. It is my daily struggle. I love God; Satan will never sway me, but I am "mad" at God for lack of a better word. I had my two girls, but I had to work when they were little, we didn't have much money and I always dreamed of having another girl to enjoy fully and raise as a SAHM like I have been with my boys. My whole family always hoped and p...

NikiLyn - I remember you well from the ttc boards - we both got our 5th boy around the same time. I have no words to express how sad and sorry I am for the loss of your sweet son. He does have a great smile and is georgeous. I am so glad to see that you love the Lord, who will provide you the strength and peace you need at this time. I will keep you and your famil...
